Synopsis via Goodreads
Bones meets Fringe in a big, dark, scary, brilliantly-plotted urban thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end.
Nearly Boswell knows how to keep secrets. Living in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Like her mother's job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, and especially the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. But when a serial killer goes on a killing spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she confides in the one person she shouldn't trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, doing surveillance. . . on her.
Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it all out soon—she'll be next.

This book had me at "Bone meets Fringe"; they're only two of the best shows ever! Of course, that also sets quite a high standard in my mind for this book to live up to. Can't wait to get my hands on this one and see just how good it really is.
This sounds sort of awesome. I've seen the cover before but never looked into it further than that. I might just have to add this one to the list. Nice pick!
